Police officers are fired and quit, on a daily basis for their bad behaviors and crimes. You say "all these coverups." Well, you can't open a newspaper these days without seeing some police officer being arrested for something. If there are all these coverups, who is arresting the police and who is prosecuting them?
Reward the ones who try to do the right thing. Well, your god you bow down to Dorner, the facts are about to be released. A prominent civil rights attorney, who has taken on LAPD many times, was part of the reinvestigation to Dorner's firing. This attorney SIDED with LAPD and said Dorner was a liar and needed to be fire. Said he was poor police officer, etc. Of course you won't believe it and say its more "white washing" and LAPD covered it all up. But it is coming out soon.
Let me tell you something else: You are living in 60's and/or a fantasy world. Police do not cover up for other police officers anymore. Sure it occurred, 30+ years ago, but it doesn't happen now. Let us say for a moment I see another officer punching a handcuffed suspect and do nothing about it. I'll be the one fired; not the person doing the hitting. The "cover up" is looked down upon more strongly then the act.
Police depts don't release the names and the numbers of officers fired for discipline for alot of reasons. However, suffice to say I started the police academy with 42 persons; 25 yrs ago. There are 5 of us left. Most of those people quit within the first 5 yrs and the rest were fired or quit in leiu of being fired.
While there are problems, its not nearly as widespread or as bad as you make it out too be.

The reason for that is the mass quantity of crimes committed by LEO. Only a small fraction of crimes committed by LEO on a daily basis ever make it to any type of disciplinary level and that is the reason there are so many of them, LEO know they can get away with it. (Special immunity)
The LE profession is populated with large numbers of psychopaths who were attracted to the job because they could fulfill their desires to be bullies and to abuse people without repercussions.
I doubt if there is one single citizen that has not encountered a bully cop at some time in their lives.
These people are devoid of any kind of compassion or guilt for abusing the people they are supposed to be protecting. Anyone who says the problems are not that bad is simply a liar.
When a member of LE is issued a badge and a gun and the powers that come with those powers, they also take an oath to uphold and to defend the constitution. That oath is the most important part of their job. That constitution includes the bill of rights which separated the citizens of the US from the peasants in a third world dictatorship.
LEO make a point of denying the constitution and circumventing it in every way possible. Why wouldn’t they? After all they were not attracted to law enforcement to protect people’s rights, they were attracted to the job to get the adrenaline rush that is more powerful that any drug, that they get from subjecting someone to their will by force.
LE as a whole fails to keep their oath to the constitution and do it intentionally.
There is one place where criminals exist in a higher percentage than elected office, and that is in law enforcement.
